BEST FRIEND'S BOYFRIEND → DAVE EAST

|SIXTEEN|

*DAVE'S POV*
"Do you think we'll last for a lifetime?"

Lauryn questioned me as the two of us were laying in bed naked, about two hours after we had gotten freaky. I was smoking on my blunt as she was laying in my arms.

"Ion wanna make no promises, shorty. Only time will tell, though."

I said, inhaling another puff of my blunt. Lauryn lightly nodded, slowly sitting up from my chest. I then looked at her confused.

"What's wrong? Where you going, ma?"

"Nowhere."

"What's wrong then, Lauryn?"

I hope she don't start with no bullshit. We just had the perfect romantic evening, great sex. I hope it don't turn upside down so quickly.

"I just don't want my time to be wasted, Dave. I waited all this time to be with you, and what if you get tired of me? I'm not saying you have to promise me a forever right now. But the fact that you may get tired of me, I'm terrified."

"We ain't worried bout that right now, baby girl. Let's just live in the present, let's just worry about now. Not the past, not the future, just now. You stressing yourself out way too much right now."

I pulled Lauryn back down onto my chest, continuing to smoke my blunt.

"Okay..."

"So, now can I know who the girl was that you left the club with?"

"A girl named Katorah. I went out to the club because I needed some space, she seen me, attempted to get with me but I declined. That's when Clarence ran into us and I ended up leaving with Katorah just to get away from his ass."

Lauryn explained, looking up at me. I shrugged it off, putting out my blunt. I decided to break the silence.

"So.. Millie contacted me. She said her first appointment for the baby is tomorrow. She wants me to go."

"Are you?"

"Yeah. That's the right thing to do."

"Right. I have to go to work anyways, so you don't have to worry about me."

"Why you gotta say it like that?"

"Say it like what? I'm just saying. I won't be bugging you cause I'll be at work."

"I wasn't worried about you bugging me."

"Okay, good. Then we have an understanding. I gotta get going to bed, I gotta be up early in the morning."

Lauryn then got off of my chest, getting up to go to the bathroom to brush her teeth. I then got up to follow her, wrapping my arms around her waist from behind.

"Yes?"

"I can't love on my girl? Damn. You just so scrumptious that I can love on you twenty four seven."

"You be doing it too much sometimes. Like you up to something."

"Too much? How do you love on someone too much?"
